"The music is treated as one, totally giving it a frame of jazz. They covered their boundaries between the original and their own vision. They made it so great, that there was no visible seams between original version and improvisation. Precise unison, the penetration of melodic lines, elegance and aesthetics tasty!”
Piotr Iwicki
"Their concert saved last evening of Warsaw Summer Jazz Days. Their performance was a bomb!"
Paweł Brodowski - Jazz Forum
„Only a few managed really wise to talk with atonal history of European music. And this band conducted this conversation in my opinion very well. Their interpretation was full of respect to the musical original, but with place to develop a proper space for jazz. There was a consistency, color, verve and somewhat abstract lyricism.”
